To know your next step, cultivate your inner voice.By Laurie Seymour

“You can read all the books, follow all the steps, write affirmations to the moon and back, but unless you begin to feel this invisible, yet palpable buzz, this infinite force that flows through you and connects you to all that is, you will spend your life searching.” Pam Grout

Are you feeling like it’s long past time to move ahead with your new project? Or even, your new life?

But… You’re caught on pause, unsure if the ducks you’ve lined up just so are enough. You’re unsure if you have what it takes. Yet, when you still yourself, you feel pulled by your desire. But when you hold back, stuck on pause, you feel pushed.

Realize that there is an interplay that takes place with your inner awareness, your actions and the Universal energetic life force. When you are contemplating change of any kind, this interaction creates a flow that moves you forward or pulls you back.

Inner guidance is real

When you use inner guidance you move through life with purpose and direction. Inner guidance invites you into an intimate dialogue with life.

It may show up as a glimmer, an idea or a picture. It waits for a response from you. You actively receive the invitation by your willingness to explore it. Then, as you pay attention to what emerges, you begin to give it form.

Your next action determines the potential of this dialogue.

Why discount the value of your inner voice?

You can choose to ignore the inner call, discounting its value. If you choose the path of not-trust, you will always be looking outside of you for the “right” answer, lacking confidence in your steps.

Is this what you want?

When you undermine yourself like this, you stop the natural flow of your creativity.

You have a choice. Choose to pay attention, explore and take action. This allows you to search deep within yourself, to research how this idea applies to your life. This is deliberate action taken to uncover and explore. In taking action, you are no longer a “victim of life’s circumstance,” or subject to the “whims of fate.”

You are, instead, both the receiver and the director of your life.

Inner research connects you with your inner voice

Through inner research, you build a lasting relationship between your vision and the energy available to bring it into manifestation. You cement a bond with the idea that you can explore further in the future. You give this idea energy and a life force that moves towards manifestation.

Of course, there are questions to consider and steps to take. So as the picture or idea unfolds, pay attention to new questions that come to mind. These give substance and detail and point towards action for you to take.

Be patient. It takes practice to pay attention and take action in this way. It requires willingness to take direction from your inner voice. As you work this way with life, you develop an intimate relationship with your inner voice. With trust, your voice grows stronger. You learn to count on it to guide your actions, taking steps with confidence.

Let your feeling body guide you. As you establish this dynamic of inner directed exploration, it becomes a new way of living. Your creativity and individuality blend with your inner voice for self-expression.

Laurie and Leon…….do you think that the inner voice we have is a product of our individual, earth bound being, or might it also be from what is termed a greater being or entity, God to many?………Just pondering and thought I’d respond to today’s FF……..saludos………Jeffrey

Jeffrey–We are all a part of everything. Although we may act as if we are separate entities, there really is no separation between my individual self and my God self (one “name” among many). The inner voice is part of that bigger, all-encompassing energy that we are part of as well. Thanks for sharing your ponderings! Laurie

Hi, Laurie! Thank you for this blog post because it’s so timely. I have recently began meditating on a daily basis (often twice a day) to ground me. As a result, the Inner Voice is coming alive (or at least I am more tuned in). And I am getting great downloads! Love it! Thank you again. =)

Enjoyed your post Laurie. For me my inner voice comes through my physical and emotional bodies. After many years I’m still practicing taking the time to unplug and tune in. Seems to be a lifelong journey.

I really love your statement in your bio about supporting people to claim the resonance of their inner wisdom. It’s Beautiful and powerful. ❤️ Joni
